Hey everyone. Im looking to buy a enclosed trailer for work and i want to see if i can get away with buying one big enough to haul my 2010 SS.

its going to be 8.5' wide but i'm wondering if i can do a 18' long insted of 20' long.

the camaro is 15.86" long.

does anyone have a 8.5x18' trailer?

My only question is how do you plan on getting in and out of the car?

8.5' wide is standard for a car hauler. just enough room. shouldnt be a problem for me. windows down ill get out. im just curious about the length being enough. ill have about a foot on each side to open the door a bit.

I use a v nose 18 footer and there's enough room for a winch I'm front and if you build some cabinets for some storage

A 24' would be the least legnth if you want room for cabinents and equipment...even my 28' is to cramped. The 8.5 is just wide enough to squeeze out of...but I added the swing up side on mine since I'm old and decrepit.
